Seven Lakes High School announced on August 6 that the school is temporarily suspending all student-led clubs on campus, as school leadership awaits guidance from Katy ISD following the passage of SB12 by the state legislature. The bill introduced new requirements for student clubs, particularly those not officially sponsored by the school.

According to legiscan.com, the bill relates to parental rights in public education, to certain public school requirements and prohibitions regarding instruction, diversity, equity, and inclusion duties, and social transitioning, and to student clubs at public schools.

The story in the school’s August 6 e-newsletter states that meetings and activities of existing student-led clubs are now on hold until further notice.

Here is the complete text of the article as it appeared in the school’s newsletter:


Texas Senate Bill 12 (SB 12) was recently signed into law and introduces new requirements for student clubs,

particularly those not officially sponsored by the school. The law outlines specific processes and conditions

under which student-led clubs must operate, including parental notification, staff oversight, and content review.

Pending District Guidance:

In order to ensure full compliance with SB 12, and to maintain consistency and legal clarity across all

campuses, Seven Lakes High School is temporarily placing all student-led clubs on hold. This pause will

remain in effect until Katy ISD provides official guidance and procedures for implementing the new

requirements.

What This Means:

· No new student-led clubs will be approved at this time.

· Meetings and activities of existing student-led clubs are also paused until further notice.

· No tables will be provided at FISH camp. If we receive necessary guidance in time for Spartan Spectacular, we

will proceed accordingly.
